Can early-stage laryngeal cancer be cured by laser?

In the treatment of early laryngeal cancer, the application of laser surgery is becoming more and more widespread. Many people still don't know much about this treatment method for laryngeal cancer. Compared with commonly used chemotherapy and radiotherapy methods, laser surgery has great advantages. So can early laryngeal cancer be cured by laser?

Laser surgery has been used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer for more than 30 years. In some developed countries, laser surgery for laryngeal cancer accounts for 30% to 50% of all laryngeal cancer surgeries, and there is a trend of increasing year by year. The 5-year survival rate of early laryngeal cancer treated with laser is 85% to 100%, and its laryngeal function preservation rate is better than partial laryngectomy.

With the improvement of equipment and technology, the scope of surgical indications has been continuously expanded, from the initial treatment of early glottic laryngeal cancer to today's laser surgery for mid-to-late stage glottic and supraglottic laryngeal cancer. However, due to the limitation of hospital equipment, the differences in surgical techniques of doctors and their different understanding of laser surgery, the depth and breadth of the surgery are also different, and there is no standard scope of surgical indications.

I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the treatment method of laryngeal cancer through this article. Since the early symptoms of laryngeal cancer are very obvious, the treatment of laryngeal cancer can also be started at an early stage. This is also one of the main reasons why laser surgery can be used in the treatment of laryngeal cancer.
